by The Tomb Raider games have a long history of showing off the world-class acrobatics and survival skills of Lara Croft. But how did she get that way? In the new Tomb Raider (Mac App Store link) Square Enix reboots the series to give us an origin story for Lara, who is an eager adventurer thrust into extraordinary circumstances. (The game was originally released in March 2013 for the PC and game consoles. Feral Interactive is behind the Mac version.)
